i'm bored...nothing sensational in the news lately!!!

japan is yesterday's news.
charlie sheen is all but forgotten.
the wedding is over.
the whole obl story has been beaten into the dirt.

there's nothing really all that sensational going on right now. i'm bored!

this is more sarcasm. just seems like it's about time for some new news story to take over the media buzz for awhile. i mean...come TPTB!!! the
people need entertainment. we need drama. controversy. i mean yeah...there are these crazy storms but i don't think this is what america wants! we
want something to take over all the news stations for a week or more. i mean...aliens...assassination...nuclear explosion...earthquake. y'all have
been too quiet.

i'm really not wishing for anything bad or even big. i'm just saying that with the way things have been going this year, it's about time for
another huge news story. the distractions are waning down. they need to throw a wrench into the gears of the people's awareness.

is there anybody else who's just kinda waiting to sign on here or some other news site and see that some new country has just been bombed or there's
been some horrible disaster that is just now really unfolding. or the dollar crashed. seriously...i don't want anything bad to happen but i keep
having the feeling that it's about time for some bad news. yeah...these storms and flooding in the mid west and south east US are bad but i'm
talking something that will bog down the MSM for days or weeks. this has been such a crazy year so far...something has to be just around the river
bend...

Really? wow. It's not yesterday news it's just not on the msm. You can check and do some digging yourself.

charlie sheen is all but forgotten.

If you consider this news, I can understand that you're bored.

the wedding is over.

Ah yes the wedding that was more important than a meltdown in japan.

the whole obl story has been beaten into the dirt.

If by "beaten into to dirt" you mean people that wan't to get to the bottom of that issue, then yes.

there's nothing really all that sensational going on right now. i'm bored!

Judging by your examples your definition of exciting is death, an actor on drugs, a royal wedding or death again.

God help us all...

No no no and no. You portray yourself as a sensationalist. First you claim it's time for news yet at the same time you claim it's sarcasm.
How can anyone be bored? There is more to this world then your front door.
Go out with friends.
Go out for a walk
Read a book.
Visit family.
Sports (any)
Etc.

After having been deployed multiple times to various parts of the world, I enjoy boredom from time to time. When it becomes a lethargic state, then I
become concerned. Life is exciting, but an exciting life is not on 24hours a day. That’d be a rather adventure-filled, yet short life if you ask me.

for everyone who wants to tell me to go read a book or hang out with friends or talk about my selfish arrogance...yeah...you obviously don't get what
i'm saying.

TPTB have been very busy this year, giving us all kinds of hype news. distracting us left and right. there's not many big distractions right now.
nothing's crippling the MSM. it just seems like it's been to long since MSM have flooded the workplace with BS news to keep everyone talking about
it.

there's gonna have to be something big happen soon. there just has to be. there's not much distraction right now.

Go read about "Regional commander for NATO's force in Afghanistan offers 'sincere apologies' for an attack that killed nine civilians", and then
ask yourself what the hell this "humanitarian effort" BS we're doing in Libya is all about..

not necessarily trying to predict anything specifically, just noticing. if i had to place a bet, i would put my money on a "natural" disaster.

it just seems like they're cooking up a good ole news story. they've been in the kitchen for awhile. these super storms don't usually get more than
an hour or two worth of MSM intimate detail and then get brushed aside with brief updates.

the last steak they threw on the table (OBL) got devoured and knocked off the table in what??? 2-3 days? the masses are ready for something to sink
their teeth into.

i really don't want to see anything "sensational" happen but i am just noticing a rising trend. lately, just as everything seems to be settling
down, something pops up. a good ole natural disaster would be right on time, too. hurricane season starts soon and i know the flooding is nowhere near
over in the midwest. and this is only ameirca i'm thinking of. but yeah...i'm just waiting to see what curve ball gets thrown. i bet the next one's
gonna be a doozy...

You've probably seen Obama's car get stuck in Ireland. But did they tell you how ?

A recent study suggests that the space-grade rubber tires that NASA created for the President's limo, lost there round shape and turned into a
one-cornered oval, causing the vehicle to come to a complete stop. Top secret agencies believe an Irish terrorist placed a potato on the wheels axle,
disabling it very quickly. There is still no word from NASA of what really caused it, but many scientists not working on the project are turning to
the stars for the answer. Leading scientist in Halftruthism said to us in our interview, " My colleagues and I have been looking into space and we
are positive that the incoming Comet Nibiru X Yellow Gnome12598 caused the president's car to stop. It is 340 trillion lightyears away and it's size
of half the Earth, it can greatly affect the exact rubber his limo has. The comets gravitational dark matter morphed it." Meanwhile, the always crazy
conspiracists blame it on the limo being to long and the ramp being too steep.

I could come up with some outlandishly fake headline and make it so offensive that it will make you snort your drink out your nose because of how
obscenely funny it is. In fact, it's so obscenely funny, I cannot even post my idea without the mods bearing down upon me like the gestapo. It
involves newt gingrich doing something utterly revolting in public for no reason whatsoever except for his own amusement.

i would sensationalize it so much, that i could probably get the entire nation to believe it with a few well made photoshopped pictures. It would
become a terrible rumor. he would be forced to refute the rumor publicly. then you would have your news, i will have gotten major lulz out of it, and
the OP would not be bored. it involves kittens.

I will let you think of what kind of revolting thing newt gingrich could do involving kittens so you can amuse yourself.

The way things are today, our eyes, ears and brains are constantly entertained and stimulated with a barrage of input data, whether it be from TV or
Internet news, our ipods, laptops, ibooks, iphones, video games, or just watching TV. If something isn't "happening', we get bored in about 10
minutes. That's why I don't own any of those things (except TV and Computer) and I make it a RULE to spend some quiet time every day (sometimes more
than others) with NO external stimulation - just to bring my base level of excitement down.

We have become so stimulated that instead of being relaxed when nothing is 'happening', we become anxious and bored... as if something is wrong. I see
people finding it hard to relax. We actually see people who WANT bad things to happen. Some say they are eager for the SHTF. I think it could become a
serious problem in society, actually. Everything is so convenient and it's so easy to go about the business of day-to-day living, that we find
ourselves with all this mental and physical energy to dissipate or absorb because there's 'nothing to do' and nothing ''happening'.

I won't even go into how this is affecting the little kids and why so many of their parents are giving them drugs just to get through it. All they
would have to do is take away the external stimulation and help the kid reset to a human stimulation level.

thank you. for actually using your mind for a minute to see what i was saying. everyone else thought i was begging for calamity. no. i was making a
point!

we are such a sensationalistic culture. we claim we want peace but deep down...most yearn for chaos, destruction and blood. it's entertaining. why do
you think the roman's built the coliseum?

i myself threw my tv away a couple years ago. there's nothing on there for me. it's all garbage even the documentaries and actual fact driven
programming is BS, IMO. i can get it all on the internet, my way, from sources i trust. if it comes through the dummy box...there's probably a reason
it's on there. notice all government censorship laws/plans/regulations are aimed at the internet these days...not the tv. they own everyone's tv. they
don't care. and like you...i take quiet time every day. usually take my dog to the park for an hour a day or at least the back yard. hang out in
silence. just enjoy the peace. i feel that the peace is waning so i need to enjoy it whilst i can. everyone keeps mentioning that they feel that there
are times in our near future when peaceful times/moments will be but a dream. chaos could really become our lot...very very soon.

but seriously...they've really gotten america used to sensational news this year. it's been kinda boring for awhile now. they have to be cooking up a
good story. something that will really give us something to talk about for awhile. maybe even so good that it won't get torn apart and proven fake in
under a week.

it's sad, honestly. how dependent people have become on the news for something to talk about/look forward to. my OP was more a mockery of what our
society has become. not a personal cry for blood.

i really do wonder what it's gonna be like in 10-20 years when this generation of children is grown up??? i really don't have great things predicted
for them.
